The Hubble Space Telescope has recently captured extraordinary images of a rapidly collapsing star system in the Andromeda ...

Just as people of the same age can vary greatly in appearance and shape, so do collections of stars or stellar aggregates. New observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope suggest that ...

Massive stars profoundly alter the physical and chemical properties of the interstellar medium through intense radiation, ...

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed for the first ...

A collaborative team has revealed new observational evidence that sheds light on the mystery of massive star formation. Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the ...

What can fast-spinning stars known as “blue lurkers” teach us about star formation and evolution? This is what a recent study being presented at the 245th American Astronomical Society meeting hopes ...

On Oct. 11, 2022, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope spent over 20 hours observing the long-studied Hubble Ultra Deep Field for the first time. The general observer program (GO 1963) focused on ...

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...

Using the wide-field survey capabilities of the Subaru Telescope, astronomers discovered active supermassive black holes, or quasars, in the distant universe and then studied them with the James Webb ...

COSMOS-Web was the largest General Observer program selected by the James Webb Space Telescope for Cycle 1. The team, led by RIT Associate Professor Jeyhan Kartaltepe, has publicly released its full ...

Massive stars profoundly alter the physical and chemical properties of the interstellar medium through intense radiation, stellar winds, and ultimately supernova explosions, thereby driving the ...
